What is going to happen in your plot?

Fresh out of a gladiatorial match on Tatooine, Ryell Varek finds himself embroiled in an adventure with a young server boy named Cal that leads them on a chaotic journey—which involve Jawas and a daring escape from a Sand People compound—from Mos Eisley, through the Dune Sea, to Anchorhead.

What other players will be a part of this?​
Myself and @Deviant

Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?​
Tatooine

Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.​
1. [ASK] "Collision Course" — One is a warrior. The other a server. Either through fate, or some other misfortune, Ryell and Cal's worlds collide (somewhat literally) at a gladiatorial match held by a Weequay named Heckler Lomax.

2. [ASK/DICE] "Out on the Town" — After the match (and their rather rude first meeting), Cal and Ryell encounter each other once again a few hours later at the Mos Eisley cantina, where, after yet another series of unfortunate events, the two end up fighting for their young lives after a bar brawl breaks out.

3. [ASK] "The Day After" — Ryell wakes up at Cal's home after the bar fight and helps himself to the other man's food as he attempts to recover from the effects of his experience the night before. Cal just wants the Mandalorian to leave, but, there is a problem: Ryell needs an expensive part to fix the hyperdrive motivator on his ship and lacks the credits to do so through a traditional ship-dealer or junkyard. So the two set off for the Dune Sea to locate Jawas.

4. [ASK/DICE] "Don't Play the Flame Game" — The journey through the Dune Sea is long and perilous. Ryell and Cal will attempt to track down a Jawa sandcrawler all while dodging a plethora of dangers including krayt dragons and roving bands of Tusken Raiders. But, even reaching the sandcrawler isn't the end, as all isn't what it seems on the Dune Sea.

5. [ASK/DICE] "Roundtable Roundup" — The Tusken Raiders have come out in full force and it is now on Ryell and Cal to (once again) fight for their lives, and for the part they just obtained from the Jawas. The fight for survival will test every skill and instinct the young men have accumulated over their relatively short young lives. But will it be enough to save them?

6. [ASK/DICE] "Scions of the Desert" — Captured. Ryell and Cal find themselves prisoners of a large band of Tusken Raiders. Since they are men, both know that they won't be kept alive long. But Ryell is a young (albeit unexperienced) Mandalorian warrior and is not so quick to give up. Now the two young men must escape with their lives (and their gear) and flee into the Dune Sea before they are overtaken, and their young lives ended, but the raging and murderous Sand People.

7. [ASK] "Into the Night" — Fleeing through the desert, our two young heroes are just ahead of their Tusken pursuers and are forced to take refuge in a series of ravine caves as a cold night sets in across the Dune Sea. The two have experienced a lot together in the past three days — is something beginning to kindle between them? Or is it a momentary flame in the deserts of Tatooine?

8. [ASK] "Binary Sunset" — Our heroes' journey comes to a climatic conclusion upon reaching Anchorhead. Ryell has the part to his ship, but returns to find that it has been impounded by Tatooine Port Authorities. Now, Cal in tow, he must steal his own ship in order to secure both men safe passage out into the galaxy where grander adventures await...!

What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?​
This is, at its heart, just a story. Nobody will really be getting anything (the ship in question is a gen tech ship and, thus, not in need of any sort of plot) except a grand adventure that will hopefully be the springboard for many more adventures to come.

Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.​
Nope. We should be able to self-DM these.
